Trump just gutted the LGBT executive order he promised not to touch

Trump just gutted the LGBT executive order he promised not to touch
- An
executive order President Trump signed Monday rescinded an executive
order President Obama implemented that would have required companies
that contract with the federal government to provide documentation about
their compliance with various federal laws. Some have argued
that this will make it harder to enforce the LGBT protections President
Obama implemented for employees of federal contractors — as well as
many other protections those workers enjoyed.

Trump
rescinded the Fair Pay and Safe Workplaces order, also known as
Executive Order 13673, that President Obama issued in 2014. That order
required companies wishing to contract with the federal government to
show that they’ve complied with various federal laws and other executive
orders. Notably, Obama issued that order in tandem with Executive Order 13672, which prohibited contractors from discriminating on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity.
